  • Is it safe for a 10 year old to start working out?

    Thank you very much for your concern about your child. As he is a 10 yr old, he should be first medically fit to start training in this type of work out.

  • What is the permanent treatment for head lice?

    There are many methods as well as home remedies to combat head lice. In my opinion, the best way to defeat head lice is to apply Permethrin local application as directed. And repeat again one week later. In between this period, try to comb the hair with a lice comb. The rest of the kids in the school should be treated at the same time if they have head lice to completely eradicate the problem. READ MORE

  • What medicine can I give my child for headaches?

If the weight loss is more than 4-5 lbs per week, she needs to be medically evaluated. READ MORE
